Boozy Eggnog Milkshake Recipe

My grandparents always made it with the booze, so this was a drink just for the adults, but my kids love eggnog – so we actually make this more often without the whiskey than we do with it. 

The best part about this eggnog milkshake is how easy it is to make!

 

 

 

4 cups vanilla ice cream

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

1 1/2 cups eggnog 

1/2 cup bourbon (or more if you like it strong) *optional 

Whipped cream, for garnish (Any brand of whip cream will do)

Grated or ground nutmeg, for garnish 

 

 

1. Add the ice cream, spices, vanilla, eggnog and bourbon to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds or until thickened and creamy.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Pour into your favorite serving glasses. Garnish with a generous helping of whipped cream and a sprinkling of nutmeg.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SO easy, right? And now you have a lovely eggnog milkshake!! This recipe makes 2 servings, but they are generous. 

Isn’t that such a pretty holiday drink? Of course, you can totally leave the alcohol out to make a family friendly drink OR make two different versions so adults and kids can both enjoy this eggnog drink during the holidays!
